Poppit Sands · 3 miles from Cilgerran
The Coast Path's northern terminus: wide Teifi-estuary sands with dunes, lifeguards and dolphin chances offshore.
There are 1 beaches within about 5 miles of Cilgerran. The closest is Poppit Sands, 3 miles away as the crow flies — further by road, because almost everything here is further by road.
Only one — Poppit Sands — has RNLI lifeguard cover, and only in season. Everywhere else on this list, you're judging the water yourself.
All of them welcome dogs year round — unusual, and worth knowing if you're travelling with one.
We hold no car park within half a mile of any of them, so plan on parking in Cilgerran and walking.

Dog restrictions and lifeguard dates are set locally and do change. The signs at the beach access points are the authority — not this table.
